04/03/2014

It is still early 2014 Congressional Election cycle and the Independent American Peasant Party (AP Party) “sponsored” grassroots Independent Electoral Revolution is taking its first steps. I am forming my own and the movement’s first congressional campaign in Westminster, MD (21157). It is Maryland’s 8th US Congressional District.

After initial feedback on my “all women candidates” strategy for the 2014 election cycle I determined that I practically had to alter my “all women” campaign approach. I needed to clearly demonstrate my political leadership within the electoral movement and to show my personal commitment to the overall campaign strategy.

First, You Need to Put Yourself into the Game

Point taken. In particular, I realized that I was asking potentially several hundred of my fellow Americans to step out into the public arena and run for national political office based only on my writings, Independent political platform, and campaign strategies. And regardless of how politically practical and viable all of that might be, it was not reasonable to be asking people to what I was not doing myself. The rude old saying,

“Do as I say, not as I do”

came to me and it did not feel right. And frankly part of the public feedback on the initial postings was that while I provided a viable political campaign framework and a very interesting Independent platform for potential congressional candidates to support, that I was just not putting myself in the game enough! Basically, it would be more of a leadership action to lead by example rather than to lead by instructions. Not to be a coach, but to be a player-coach. In other words, I needed to stick my head out into the campaign world before asking others to do it. Again, point taken. There is nothing like public feedback!

Therefore, I have adjusted my personal approach and as of Thursday March 13, 2014 yours truly became an official Write-In candidate for Maryland’s 8th US District seat in the US House of Representatives. Thus, I am now all in and will truly lead by example!

This means that the first 2014 US House campaign to replace an incumbent member of the Congress has quietly begun in Maryland’s 8th US District. And the 2014 Independent Electoral Revolution is underway. Please come and join me! United for the Common Good – We the People do great things…

To Clarify Our Strategy

So here it is my fellow Americans. This is my refined political plan and campaign strategy that needs to quickly become “our” plan and strategy – to be publicly embraced and acted upon across the country. Most importantly, it has the ability to affect the outcome of all 468 Congressional votes across the country evenif we do not have one (1) of our Independent candidates running in a given election! There is more than one way to replace up to 468 incumbent members of Congress this November 4th.

Working together, We the People will change the face of politics in America forever and for the better!

Let’s Think 535 Candidates Not Just 468

Another issue raised was that for consistency and comprehensive connection with all of the public across the country it would be prudent for the Independent grassroots movement to represent all 535 Congressional seats, as soon as possible.

In that way, in states where we cannot have one of our Independent candidates for the 435 US House races in place for the voters in 2014 for whatever reason, that there will still be someone designated and publicized to the public within their US District. Voters will observe those future candidates throughout 2014 promoting the problem-solving platform, promoting the anti-incumbent voting strategy, working on voter registration, and earning voter appreciation through 2015 and as the 2016 campaign ramps up.

The Democratic wisdom of the Founders provided We the People with the US Constitution. It granted us the Right and Authority, if not the obligation to each other, to byourvotes peacefully dismiss failing leadership at all levels of our government. Because, itisour government. It belongs to We the People and not the Wealthy, Big Industries or any other entity foreign or domestic seeking to place their Special Interest above the Common Good of the People.

Such Special Interest abuse is exactly what the 535 members of the US Congress are sworn to protect we citizens against. And the current 535 members of the US Congress are blatantly and willingly not performing their sworn duty to us and our Common Good.

Therefore, it is time for We the People represented by the American Electorate to do our job and remove our failed leadership from elected office. And We will do this for those we love and otherwise care about and for the 310,000,000 of our fellow Americans that we will never, ever meet…
